Here are my three favorite cues when coaching deadlifts and exactly what they mean!
--> Shoulders down and back
--> Tuck the chin
--> Whole foot on the floor
Nutrition might be the number one frustration for our clients when it comes to results. There is SO much information out there and it is can be hard to decipher through what is best for you!
That's why on Wednesday, February 21st at 6:30pm we are going to host a free workshop at Get Fit NH. We are welcoming Get Fit NH clients and followers to attend and learn the 6 key habits to losing fat, improving performance and feeling better for good.
None of those habits include deprivation, calorie counting or restricting.
We will host this workshop again in the spring so be on the lookout if you can't make this one.
Please sign up so we know to expect you!
We are trying something new!
Our team continues to grow and so does our client load. We are truly grateful and always searching for opportunities to improve our coaching and your experience.
On Saturday, March 2nd at 8 am, we are hosting a free kettlebell swing mastery workshop. This workshop is for Get Fit NH current clients only. It doesn't matter if you have been swinging the kettlebell for 5 years of 5 days or never! We are going to spend the time breaking down the swing and the mechanics so you can improve your swing and feel more confident performing it.
There are a few kickers!
This workshop will be 45 minutes. We will warm up and will go through the kettlebell swing. We may also dabble in other kettlebell swing variations as well. This workshop is capped at 15 clients! We want to be able to spend time with you so you get the most out of it.
If you have ever been worried about attempting the swing or if you just don't feel confident in your swing or if you just want a real deep dive coaching experience then we hope you take advantage of this opportunity.
It is FREE, however, if you no show you will be charged $30. We have this form capped at 15 clients so if you sign up and no show then you are taking the opportunity from someone else.
Watch the video below as Coach Dylan explains and demos the difference between a Traditional Floor Pull Deadlift and a Romanian Deadlift.
Experts say in order to be healthy you have to mix cardio with strength training. BUT one thing that seems to be missing is the POWER aspect. Power allows us to pick up items with speed and force.
Example:
Strength allows you to lower yourself into a chair and sit with control
Power allows you to stand back up
Or
If you trip and stumble, power allows you to quickly react and recover to help prevent a fall!
Power, like anything else can be lost overtime if we do not consistently train it. But it can be restored as quickly as 4-8 weeks depending on fitness level and consistency!
How do you know where you stand with power?
Well, we have what’s known as the power test.
What is the power test??
It is also referred to as the Sit to Stand Test, which gauges your power level and risk of falling.
How to perform:
Studies show:
> Men over 65 should be able to do 12 or more
> If under 65 should be able to do 17 or more
> Women over 65 should be able to do 11 or more
> If under 65 should be able to do 15 or more
*if you score below that, it indicates that you may be low on power.*
We test these things to know what we can improve on to make sure we stay healthy for as long as possible!
It is never to late to start, so why not start today!
Try out our two free week trial and increase your strength and power!

Story time with Coach Meagan….no really, let me read this incredibly powerful section of a book that I’m reading. I think you will find it refreshing to learn what your brain is capable of.
We will be CLOSED for 5 am and 6:10 am classes. We will open for 7:20, 8:30 and 11. We will also have a full training schedule in the afternoon at 4:15, 5:30 and 6:45. We welcome you to attend the class that works best for your safety and your schedule tomorrow.
Be safe out there!Single leg deadlifts are such a love but mostly hate relationship, am I right?
Single length strength is arguably one of the most important things to train for an aging human (which is all of us, you’re welcome!)
Single leg training comes in many forms:
More explosive options include:
But the big question…what’s the point? Why is it so important to include single leg training?
The benefits include performance and imbalance improvement, but in solely going to speak from a longevity standpoint.
I’ll use the nursing home example…what are some of the reasons adults end up in the nursing home or assisted care facilities?
If you want to be able to catch yourself before you fall OR recover faster from a fall then you need to train unilateral movement, both strength AND explosive/agility exercises.
Strong muscles, strong bones and healthy joints WIN aging, it’s science and it’s proven over and over again.
Every time you climb the stairs…that’s an example of single leg movement
Getting in and out of the car? Single leg movement.
Getting in and out of the shower? Single leg movement.
If you don’t train to maintain those abilities then it is true that you lose it much faster.
Don’t take advantage of your youth. There’s always room for you here!
